Authorities investigating the escape of two Orlando-area convicted killers have "uncovered key facts and targeted several suspects," the Florida Department of Law Enforcement commissioner said at a news conference in Tallahassee.

"I can assure you that our investigation is moving forward," FDLE Commissioner Gerald Bailey said, adding that this case is a "top priority for FDLE." However, he added that no new arrests are expected today.

Bailey said his agents and others are "determined" to find those who "helped guide" the documents through the Orange County Clerk of Courts office, where the fraudulent documents in the release of two Central Florida killers first surfaced.

A spokeswoman for the Clerk's Office said the agency would continue to cooperate with the investigation.

The update comes as FDLE agents have identified a total of seven instances in which inmates are suspected of attempting to escape using forged court documents, including convicted killers Joseph Jenkins and Charles Walker.

Bailey said Jenkins and Walker, who were wrongly released and then recaptured Saturday in Bay County, "are not cooperating" with the investigation. "In law enforcement terms, they've lawyered up," he said.

"Should they choose to cooperate, we'll have the answers we demand sooner rather than later," Bailey said, adding that tips and leads continue to come in and FDLE is offering a $10,000 reward for information. Attorney General Pam Bondi's office also pledged an additional $10,000 for tips.

The FDLE commissioner for the first time linked a known forger to the case: Nydeed Nashaddai, a 48-year-old Pinellas Park man accused of stealing and cashing checks who was briefly released from the Pinellas County Jail in October 2009, after a document was filed with the local clerk's office stating his charges had been dismissed.

Nashaddai was quickly recaptured and later sentenced to prison and housed in Franklin Correctional Institution — where at least four other inmates linked to the phony documents, including Walker and Jenkins, were also housed.

One other inmate at the Gulf Correctional Institution in the Panhandle was in the process of obtaining falsified documents for an attempted escape. Bailey said that case did not originate in Orange County as three others had.

Bailey said agents have seized computers and a printer from the inmate library at Franklin, as well as an iPad and cell phone found at the Panama City motel where Jenkins and Walker were apprehended.

They had been on the loose since they were erroneously released from the prison on Sept. 27 and Oct. 8, respectively.

Authorities have said the pair were awaiting transportation out of the state when law officers captured them. Bailey said agents recovered an from the motel Saturday and those are being examined as well.

Bailey said the agency's electronic surveillance team is "picking apart" those devices today. He said there's a possibility there are more cases that authorities don't yet know about.

Some members of Jenkins and Walker's family members have been cooperative in the investigation, Bailey said.

FDLE Commissioner Gerald Bailey said Sunday his agents are investigating whether prisoners paid someone $8,000 to prepare the fake documents. Agents are also investigating who may have harbored or helped escapees after they were freed, officials said.

The scheme used in the prison break has prompted policy changes at the Florida Department of Corrections and within the Orange County Clerk's office. Meanwhile, state politicians have called for hearing to determine where the system broke down.

Bailey said FDLE discussed the fake orders with state attorneys in the summer but the scope of scheme had not risen to the level its at now.
